Magic Stone Craftmanship
After repelling Schugel, Ra-chan and I decided to leave the mansion and head toward the capital.
The Misfid house’s carriage is already waiting in front of the entranceway. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Next to Al!」
As I took a seat, Ra-chan happily yelled and stuck closely to me.
What a really cute creature. I couldn’t help but get driven by the impulse to stroke her head but as expected, that would be disrespectful so let’s not do that. I smile along with her as if to share the joy.
「Huh? Is Loretta coming too?」
Loretta - who was getting into the carriage - seemed to tumble down after hearing Ra-chan’s comment.
I think it’s her expression of her feeling of wanting to play with just the two of us, but it must have been a shock to hear that from the master she should be serving.
「……my role is to take care of Ranna-sama and Alfried-sama’s necessities. Please allow me to accompany you」
It’s too scary since I don’t know what kind of response Schugel would have if I were to play with just the two of us alone.
Before taking care of our necessities, I definitely want to get Loretta to accompany us to take care of my safety.
「Let’s have Loretta come with us since she will be helpful to us, okay?」
「If Al says so, fine then」
「Thank you very much」
Ra-chan easily agreed when I said that and Loretta was allowed to come with us.
Loretta sat on the opposite seat and then knocked on the back window, signaling the coachman to depart. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Immediately after that, the carriage began to slowly move.
We’re leaving for the capital.
Although, the Misfid house’s mansion itself is located in the royal capital, it can be said that we are already in the royal capital. Once we leave the mansion’s grounds, it’s already the main street.
「Al, is there anywhere you want to go?」
Ra-chan - who is sitting next to me - asks.
「Hmーm, somewhere I want to go, huh. I can’t think of anything right now」
I decided to go out somehow, but I didn’t actually have anywhere I wanted to go.
「What places did you visit when you were in the royal capital last time?」
As I was troubled over where to go, Loretta attentively asked.
「I went to visit places like the stalls’ street, the shopping district, magic tool shop, and the theatre」
「So you mainly went around in the central district. Then, shall we go to the northern district?」
「We went to some clothes stores over there」
I remember keeping Elna-kaasan’s company and shopping for things, going to several clothing stores one after the other.
That was draining. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「If that is the case, how about going around the center of the northern district today?」
When I think about it, I haven’t really wandered the northern district that much.
Although I visited the capital several times with Teleport, there are a lot places like the nobles’ secondary residence in the northern district, so there’s the chance that rumors will spread if I were to visit that place so openly.
However, I legitimately entered the royal capital this time and had some business with the Misfid house. This means I will be able to confidently walk around the northern district.
「There are many stores that receive our family’s favors so Alfried-sama will be able to enter even without a letter of introduction」
I was surprised at what Loretta said next.
Apparently, as long as I am with Ra-chan, I will be able to high-class establishments without being rejected even without introduction from regulars. That’s great.
「Sure. Then, I’d like to go there today」
「Understood」
For now, I decided to leave it to Loretta and go around the shops I don’t usually enter.
As we continued down to the street of the northern district, before long the carriage came to a halt.
Getting off the carriage, I saw a building with milk-white walls and a black roof in front of me.
「This place is?」
「This is a magic stone craft store」
「Magic stone craft store?」
「They process magic stones, displaying them as goods such as glass, plates, statues, and other items」
Loretta explained it to me when I tilted my head.
「So there is such a thing」
「There are a lot of pretty things, you know! Let’s go inside!」
Ra-chan went ahead and opened the door when I was still impressed with the store. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Ranna-sama, I will open the door!」
Loretta hurriedly rushed over with a wry smile on her face and I also entered the store.
As we entered the store, we were greeted by the night sky.
「Uwaa, this is really pretty」
Various colors of lamps were installed inside the store.
They illuminated the dimly lit stone-built interior of the store.
The insides of the lamps are transparent, but there were also a lot of colored lamps on display.
「Welcome, Ranna-sama, Loretta-sama」
As I was fascinated by the goods on display, a near-elderly man came out from the back of the store.
His silver hair is slicked back with a hair product, and he is sharply dressed in a black suit.
Even though he should have been called early old age, there is no flaw in his appearance.
Not only its appearance, but as a first-class store, the bearing of its employees seems to be first-class too.
And as if it was natural, he seems to remember the face of Loretta - the servant of the Misfid house -, not just Ra-chan’s face.
After he finished greeting them both, the old man came over to me.
「It is nice to meet you for the first time. My name is Oaken, the owner of this store」 (オーケン)
「My name is Alfried Slowlett, the second son of the house of Slowlett」
「Thank you very much for visiting our store today. I hope you will take your time and enjoy our products」
After exchanging some light greetings, I started to slowly walk around the store.
Following behind me are Ra-chan and Loretta.
The carpet on the floor seemed to fairly muffle the sounds of our footsteps as there were no sounds at all.
They are probably paying attention to this so the customers will be able to concentrate on appreciating the goods.
There are lamps lined up on the table. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
The head part of the lamp is made of a bright red object that looks like glass, and it is shaped like a rose.
The red light illuminates the dim space, making it pretty.
Next to it is a hexagon-shaped lamp. The gentle shades of blue and white gave it a sense of depth, they are very beautiful.
「……this, they are all made by processing magic stones」
「Yes. They are apparently produced by processing magic stones of each attribute」
Each magic stone has its own colors.
Non-attribute is white, Fire attribute is red, Water attribute is blue, Earth attribute is brown, and Wind attribute is green, and so on.
「To have such vivid colors, they must have been strong monsters」
「Is that so?」
「The fact that they have such transparent colors means that, they used good-quality magic stones. In other words, the monster that has the magic stone had strong mana」
「Heeー」
「This Rose Lamp used the magic stones from a mutated variant of a Red Wyvern」
As I was talking about magic stones with Ra-chan, Oaken - who was standing by - casually spoke.
「By the way, what is the subjugation rank of that monster?」
「It is B-rank」
Only fearless people like at Roomba level can hunt them down. I definitely don’t want to fight such monsters.
When I looked at the Rose lamp displayed there, it was written that it cost 120 gold.
Even though Wyverns are already C-rank monsters, it’s obvious that the price will increase if it's the rare, mutated variants of Wyverns.
「It’s a beautiful lamp」
「It’s perfect for Alicia!」
「Alicia-sama has taken care of us so kindly, shall we buy one for her then?」
「Un, a present!」
While I was still staring at its price, Loretta and Ra-chan - who were next to me - quickly decided to buy it.
It’s as casual as giving a friend cake served with tea you bought. So this is the financial power of a Duke’s house.
Oh well, I can also buy it since I have the income from the reversi, spaghetti, and table tennis, but I’d still hesitate to buy it if the price is this high.
I guess it’s because I’m a commoner at heart. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
